Omnipod Insulin Types

[SuzeH]

Does anyone use Fiasp in their Omnipod?

Yes, I changed from Novorapid to try and improve post meal spikes and be able to bolus halfway through a meal if necessary as I don't always finish a meal. On the whole I have found it easier and levels are better

I use the Dexcom G6 and Omnipod 5. I've recently started putting the Pod and sensor wherever suits me (ie not next to each other or on the same side of my body, as recommended) and connectivity has not been an issue at all. I was sick of wrecking the skin on my arms!

Dexcom appears much better in this respect than freestyle 2+

Do you have any site issues at all?

Same I can wear them on opposite sides of my body and it still works fine, front and back. No connectivity issues at all with Dexcom g6.

Is the Omnipod 5 actually learning then? Has it improved over time?

She’s been prescribed Lyumjev now. Ever tried it?

I've been using Lyumjev for almost a year now and have found it really efficient, it works fast, generally flattens out spikes, I don't need to correct hardly at all and I have felt noticably better using it. I didn't think a change of insulin would affect how I felt so much but I'm happy with it.

I hope it works well for your daughter.
